Anyone bought an aftermarket rear sliding window?

If you did, what did you get, how does it look? I'm starting to miss not having one.

I've seen some curved ones off ebay, manual (I have a reg cab). I guess they don't fit flush like the OEM ones do.

I though there was an option for manual rear sliders on regular cab trucks, if I am right, you should be able to buy an oem one from a dealership. Something to look into anyway.

I would go to safelite or any other glass install place, and let them do the swap. When I got my 03, It had a broken slider, so I replaced my slider with a non-slider version. I personally like the clean look without the slider, but I do understand how someone would like the slider.

Laying glass is an art.

EDIT: Safelite quoted $495 installed for a 2012 single cab slider install (using my zip).

There is/was. The OEM's are quite a bit more money on ebay. I guess I should check with the dealer. I might still go the OEM route, I like the flush look too. A lot of my driving is rural and short trips of a couple miles at a time so really don't need A/C a whole lot here in the North. Of course use the A/C when needed.

Don't do it. I bought a aftermarket sliding window off eBay and it eventually started leaking from bad drainage design. The local auto glass shop I had install it warned me to use Mopar OEM. Should of listened. After the problems, went back to same shop and they ordered a Mopar factory sliding back window for far less than the dealership would sell me one. Try that instead. Save you the headache in the long run. The few extra dollars you spend is worth the hassle and peace of mind.

I always get OEM windows because my astigmatism, aftermarket glass always makes objects look weird and missshaped unless the glass is flat.

I do use Safelite, but I always pay the extra for OEM glass, and it usually is within a a few hundred, but so worth it.
